when i was restricting, i use to literally think about food all the time even tho i wasn’t hungry at all. i would look up recipes and restaurants without actually eating. i literally spent hours every day looking these things up

[jazzsart]

Summary of the video:
1. You don't eat enough food for your body during the day (your body keeps thinking about something it needs).
2. You may be full but not satisfied or you are eating something you don't like (change flavour, texture or food- you may not know you dislike something)
3. You are labelling your food bad or good. Your reward system kicks in and you reach out to the "bad food" because you haven't had it in a while and now it's time to have it while you can.
4. You are using food as an emotional crutch as a way to avoid thinking about emotions or feelings. Learn to cope with your emotions differently.
5. Don't get fixated on food, but be excited about it.

I hope you find this comment helpful and you heal from whatever is hurting you ❣️

i love that you make intuitive eating more practical and talk about using up what we have in our fridge etc. i hate wasting food and I dont have the money to just get whatever i feel like eating on a whim.

[vampxo]

i remember i use to eat in front of the computer tv or my phone, it gave me double dopamine and i became obssesed with the feeling. It was so comforting I always wanted to eat

[kellycorcoran]

I almost feel lost because I don’t know what I like or feel like anymore

[ВіолеттаПрисяжнюк]

reasons
1) you are not getting enough food
it is a hunger cue
physically full but not satisfied
you may not be eating that you like
2) you are deeming foods as “bad”
3) you are using it as an emotional crutch
thinking about food as a way to avoid thinking about your emotions
a coping mechanism

food is not good or bad
SO TRUE
like a lot of things in life, we tend to judge everything.. put everything in boxes. but letting just be neutral?? life gets so much more chill when u do that

Hi Colleen, I really appreciate this video. I think I've improved a little as far as thinking about food all the time but I know I still need to work on it. I really struggle a lot with thinking of food as "good" or "bad." I know I also have a problem with looking to food, mainly sweets, to sooth emotions. This is really helpful. ❤

[elvarodriguez]

thank you SO MUCH! Videos like these give me hope that Im gonna get better one day and be free from this crazy obsession/disease.

I hate when I start to put the food in my mouth my brain just tell me eat and eat and eat never end and I feel like want to put all the food on my plate into my mouth in one time then when I finish my brain still told me 'hey go grab more food or what food can I eat next'. Sometimes I feel really full but my brain always think what I should eat or thinking about food.24 hour a day I just thinking about food like half of a day. I can't say no to food. I don't know why I feel like this everyday about 1 week. I'm in anorexia recovery I think I'm not anorexic anymore but maybe binge eating disorders because I can't control on my fullness and my hunger.

[strawberryfraisier]

i'm trying to start recovery (im doing intuitive eating for about a week now, but i'm still obsessed with food to the point that i feel overwhelmed, i hope i can calm down soon. ive been writing a diary on my feelings and thoughts when i eat instead of calories and macros, which i hope to eventually let go of as well as interacting with ED content.

[miel_en_primavera]

[kawaiikowai]

Full v satisfied, yes that makes sense! Thank you! I need to make sure my meals are well rounded out

[Sandrastjernberg]

So i warn about my bad english lol i'm from Finland so yeahh, but, I struggle with many things what I really need help with so please read!

I am a 13 years old girl who loves to exercise, I love cardio the most so I run like 3/2 times a week because I have like 3 workout days in the week, so i basically run 2 times a week and do a little full body workout (witch 13 years olds can do) once a week. I go for many walks too everyday! And I really care about my health and I try my best to live a healthy lifestyle even I am just a young teenage but anyways. I stopped whit drinking sodas or drinks with any sugar in when I had really bad teeths so there were where I started to change what I eat and started a "healthy" diet. I drink a lot of water in the day and ofc milk and in the mornings a cup of ice coffe too! I eat like 4 times a day but I eat too some snack like a fruit or youghort maybe 2 hours before i eat the next meal. But it feels like I eat too little in the day but if i start eating more so then it feels like I'm eating too much. I think a lot of what i eat like if it is healthy or not and I plan what I should eat next, I try to stop it but it is really hard! It feels like i'm always hungry and maybe I am too cuz I eat too little in the day and work out really much. I think about food too all the time. I weight maybe like 40-43kg and I'm skinny so i should eat more ik (I try tomorrow start to eat the whole day more) And like I'm scared of losing weight but I don't want to eat junk food or candy eather. Ik the key is to strt eating more but how can I stop thinking about food and thinking about what i should eat next and if it's unhealthy or

I’ve just gained 10lbs to fix a anaemia and now I’m miserable and I’ve always been on some sort of diet. I also have PTSD and from childhood abuse and have been heavier and now I’m not comfortable with that anymore. Any tips for trauma eaters? How to go through the process of people noticing your losing weight. It can send me into a tale spin.

[heyitslizzybee]

Can you change your set point? What if your set point is high or low enough that you have health problems at that weight?

[Brandon-tzpn]

I can think about food 5 mins after eating a whole meal though. If I ate everytime I felt like it I would legit be 500 pounds.
